Why debate and speech

Debate training provides benefits beyond mastering argumentation, equipping students with invaluable life skills. It enhances quick thinking and clear articulation under pressure. Regular participation boosts self-confidence, especially in public speaking and presenting ideas. These skills are highly sought after in fields like law, politics, business, and management.

Speech training equips students with essential tools for clear idea expression and persuasive argument presentation. They learn techniques to engage and captivate their audience, deliver impactful presentations, overcome public speaking fears, and master effective communication. These skills are incredibly valuable for their future success.

Feedback from Our Community

Every time after class, we receive professional feedback from the Coach. My child can see that their efforts are recognized by the teacher, which greatly motivates them to learn.
Soya C.’s Mom
The small class sizes ensure that my child receives ample attention from the teacher. With the teacher's help, my child has quickly improved their debating skills and abilities. After each class, the teacher sends feedback on the progress, showing great dedication and responsibility.
Isabella F.’s Mom
Thank you to BL for always taking care of the children. During out-of-town competitions, they accompany the children throughout, taking care of their meals and daily needs and ensuring their safety. They are very responsible, and as a parent, I feel reassured entrusting my child to BL.
